    Abstract: A baseball simulation game, in which two opponents actively participate to have a decisive effect on results of play, has a stadium defining a playing surface upon which is described a baseball diamond. Nine defensive player figures are movably positioned on the playing surface, each figure being formed to interrupt the flight of a ball. A tube extends from outside the stadium above centerfield down to a point above and between a pitcher's mound and home plate so that balls dropped in the upper end by the defensive opponent will fall from the lower end in a ballistic curve through a strike zone at home plate. The stadium provides controlled access for the offensive opponent to extend one hand over home plate to strike at balls with a scale bat, using wrist motion only. Play follows the rules of baseball with rolls of dice determining the outcome of action which cannot be simulated.
